I went out today and had a look for pine nuts, but found that without an axe I couldn't get at them any sense. What I did find however is this:
It's the snapped end of a massive limb that had broken off of an even bigger main trunk. I'm pretty sure it's Douglas fur, or Scots Pine. What you can see is the resin (I think). The white stuff literally looks like candle wax...is that nature hinting something to me?!
Are there any uses for this, what sorts of things can I do with it? I had noticed the wood shards that come from the heartwood lights easily with a match; so I'm thinking it would be a god addition to my tinder collection.
Thanks
